Recall the formulas to convert polar coordinates \((r, \theta)\) to Cartesian coordinates \((x, y)\): \(x = r \cos(\theta)\) \(y = r \sin(\theta)\)
Identify the given polar coordinates: \(r = 4\) and \(\theta = 5\pi\).
Substitute the values into the conversion formulas: \(x = 4 \cos(5\pi)\) \(y = 4 \sin(5\pi)\)
Use the periodic properties of trigonometric functions to simplify \(\cos(5\pi)\) and \(\sin(5\pi)\). Remember that \(\cos(\theta)\) and \(\sin(\theta)\) have periods of \(2\pi\).
Calculate the simplified values of \(x\) and \(y\) to express the Cartesian coordinates corresponding to the given polar coordinates.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Polar Coordinates

Polar coordinates represent a point in the plane using a radius and an angle, denoted as (r, θ), where r is the distance from the origin and θ is the angle measured from the positive x-axis. Understanding this system is essential for converting to Cartesian coordinates.

Conversion Formulas from Polar to Cartesian

To convert polar coordinates (r, θ) to Cartesian coordinates (x, y), use the formulas x = r cos(θ) and y = r sin(θ). These formulas translate the radius and angle into horizontal and vertical distances on the Cartesian plane.

Angle Measurement and Trigonometric Values

Angles in polar coordinates are often given in radians. Knowing how to evaluate trigonometric functions like sine and cosine at specific angles, such as multiples of π, is crucial for accurate conversion to Cartesian coordinates.

Air drop—inverse problem A plane traveling horizontally at 100 m/s over flat ground at an elevation of 4000 m must drop an emergency packet on a target on the ground. The trajectory of the packet is given by

x = 100t, y = −4.9t² + 4000, t ≥ 0

where the origin is the point on the ground directly beneath the plane at the moment of the release. How many horizontal meters before the target should the packet be released in order to hit the target?
